Background: Few therapeutic options exist to improve the medium term clinical outcomes in young postmeniscectomized patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the medium term clinical and functional outcomes in patients treated with meniscal allograft transplantation. Methods: Between 1998 and 2008, 28 patients underwent meniscal allograft transplantation, 17 lateral and 11 medial. Average age was 33 (range: 24-47); follow-up was 47 months. Twenty-one patients received concomitant procedures: osteotomies, ligamentoplasties, autologous osteochondral graft, osteochondral allografts and autologous condrocyte implantation. Patients were clinically evaluated with the Lysholm and IKDC scores preoperatively and then annually. Results: At final follow-up, statistically significant improvements (p <0.05) were found in the Lysholm and IKDC scores. Overall, 86% of the patients reported to be completely or almost completely satisfied and 25 of 28 patients (89%) stated they would undergo the procedure if the same problem affected the contralateral knee. Eight patients presented complications related to the rupture of the meniscal allograft, which were treated with partial meniscectomy or arthroscopic meniscal sutures. Conclusions: In the medium term, meniscal transplantation improves both function and symptoms in symptomatic postmeniscectomized patients.
